Dose it matter that my S/N in about phone is different to the one under the battery, I believe is due to me hacking my IMEI to unlock my phone? As I have received two codes from huawei and both were invalid. Or could this be because I did not send them my product ID?

Just use the serial number and IMEI printed under your battery and use an update.app and restore your original oeminfo before unlocking.

I don't have my original oemifo, as when I first took a backup it was missing 5.img and I didn't find out until much too late. I restored the IMEI with dfstool previously, but I'm going to see if it can restore the serial number as well.

Excuse me but... You're screwed.

OEMINFO never be what it was although you use DFS, QPST and other dangerous tools.

Sucsess :) Thanks daz.

I did a firce update to b952 zeroing my IMEI, so i rooted using ROOTG300.exe installed 5irom and restored my ORIGINAL IMEI backup, relocking my phone to Vodafone. Then i did update from SD card with the same b952 ( this didn't zero my IMEI :) ) So then i used alklinorap's method to unlock my bootloader MY UNLOCK CODE WAS JUST NUMBERS the first code they sent me with letters and numbers was invalid.

I just have one question Dose CWM backup the bootloader as when i came to restore my backup in CWM 6.0.2.7 the first command was - Erasing boot before restore..

Stupid question, will my SIM re-lock after restoring an update.app and unlocking the bootloader etc.?

Thanks :P

If you hacked your IMEI restoring the original 5irom backup you made relocks the phone.

There this someone on the giffgaff community offering free unlock codes he posted today in the thread about how to unlock for free.

EDIT - sorry lol, update.app through force update ZEROS IMEI ( not locked to network ). not sure if you do update from SD card, you do need to restore your origional IMEI ( locked to network ) to unlock after restoring my IMEI i did an update from sd to remove root just to be sure

I never used an official update app when I unlocked the bootloader with the code from Huawei. I used B952 repack then relocked the boot loader. Then used the code from Huawei. All that happened was it did some kind of factory reset that caused some apps to force close after reboot. Restored a backup and all OK.

My s/n is different than the one on the phone sticker. It is the same as the WiFi-MAC address except the las number is greater by one. I force updated from CM 10.1 to B952 with update.app and tried restoring IMEI with 5irom Toolbox but s/n is still the same. My IMEI is ok anyways. Is there a way to revert s/n to original one?
